Catherine McNeil...a Vogue Girl?

Cathrine McNeil is said to have received the seal of approval from legendary Vogue-editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour recently according to her agent, Stephen Lee. Lee, who was contacted by the Sunday Telegraph after a meeting with Wintour, stated that,

"In the meeting, Anna said she wants Catherine to be an absolute, total Vogue girl, no Harper’s or anying else - just Vogue. Anna says Catherine epitomizes everything that Vogue wants to stand for now."

If what Lee says is true then I guess we can expect to be seeing a lot more of the beautiful leggy Queenslander, not just in Vogue but in more and more ad campaigns, because this event can only stand to lift Catherine further up the ladder of Supermodel status.

Can't wait to see more of my favourite self confessed 'bogan form Logan' but until then...

The Cover? Atrocious. Inside? Better.

Here it is. You're exclusive first sneak peek at the July 08 Australian Vogue cover as provided by mwa one day ahead of schedule for all you gals that don' get it subscription! And may I just say here and now that I think it is the most boring and ugly cover that I have ever seen vogue do! I mean 1. Alice Burdeu on the cove, AGAIN. Wasn't it bad enough the first time! Don't get me wrong though I'm actually pretty much biased -I LOVE THEM- towards all red headed models being a fellow patriotic red head myself but for some reason Alice just doen't cut the cake for me. However I will let down my defense for a moment here and admit that she does look good with the one shot of her inside but that is the only time I've ever seen her look up to scratch. Oh and secondly the whole close up thing on the front cover? Kirstie Clements take note, NEVER AGAIN! Enough said. Luckily though the disappointment stops short at the cover and with all gag reflexes aside you should be able to turn over the cover-maybe with some gloves- and begin to enjoy the fantastic story on 4 of Australia's next supermodels making it over in New York, Paris and Milan. The lucky girls in order of appearence are Alice Burdeu, Abbey Lee Kershaw(well der) Stephanie Carta(even with the whole skinny issue surrounding her) and the gorgeous new favourite of mine, Skye Stracke. Another beauty to look forward to is the quickly rising star, Zippora Sevens who co-models in the shoot entitled, Laced with Luxury. Excited yet? But don't worry it gets better-if you believe me- because then we have a much appreciated appearance from the girl herself, Carolina Trentini in the shoot called Fantasy Blooms shot by Steven Miesel and stolen from some other vogue(because I swear i've seen the images before) but unfortunately it musn't have come from American Vogue because in it yes I see Trentini but I don't see any Jumpin? So either she caved in to criticism or it just didn't come from the pages of Ms. Wintour's Vogue.

Either way you should be getting hungry for more by now, so I guess you can just sit tight and wait till tomorrow to catch your dinner, whilst I'll be happily eating mine!

Love Always xoxo

Anna says Jump!

With all the hype around Caroline Trentini's Jumping I just wanted to clear up S.A.A.'s view on the whole issue. First of all Caroline Trentini is a fantastic model and for all of those people out there who think that she should stop jumping in Vogue editorials, YOU ARE BORING!!! Each shot that Ms. Trentini is jumping in is always different from the last, she mixes it up and no two shots are ever the same which is more than I can say for a lot of the girls out there posing up a storm. Caroline does not do overkill which is why we should be fanatical about her jumping. Not only are her poses in mid air always different but they are never BORING like many stills can be. Trentini always has a changing expression or emotion on her face which adds to the clothes and the vibe of the shoot; which invariably always makes the pictures that much more enjoyable to look at (not that the clothes aren't good enough reasons).

So if you are one of those people who doesn't like jumpers, GO HOME!! Because as far as I'm concerned Trentini is one of the most creative girls with her poses that never ever go un-noticed which really in the end is what the fashion ed's are looking for. Derrr!!

Love Always xoxo
